And to reinforce my observation, we have this from the Times Online Breaking News section. (no permalink available)
London gets back to business againIt was business as usual in the capital as Londoners shrugged off fears about the terrorist threat to the city. Britain has been put on the highest ever state of terrorist alert, according to reports, with senior police officers warning that the cell responsible for last week's attack could be planning further strikes. Tens of thousands of workers left London offices early after the Tube and bus explosions on Thursday and many took the day off on Friday because of continued travel disruption and security fears.
So after an initial reaction, it only took Londoners four days to get back to "business as usual." It's been 3 and a half years sine 9/11 and we're still no where near normalcy. But then again...
WE'RE AT WAR BITCHES!!!
